Question:
Tick the correct answer.
(a) Yeast is used in the production of:
(i) sugar (ii) alcohol (iii) hydrochloric acid (iv) oxygen
(b) The following is an antibiotic:
(i) Sodium bicarbonate (ii) Streptomycin (iii) Alcohol (iv) Yeast
(c) Carrier of malaria-causing protozoan is:
(i) female Anopheles mosquito (ii) cockroach (iii) housefly (iv) butterfly
(d) The most common carrier of communicable diseases is:
(i) ant (ii) housefly (iii) dragonfly (iv) spider
(e) The bread or idli dough rises because of:
(i) heat (ii) grinding (iii) growth of yeast cells (iv) kneading
(f) The process of conversion of sugar into alcohol is called:
(i) nitrogen fixation (ii) moulding (iii) fermentation (iv) infection
Answer:
(a) Yeast (fungi) is a microorganism that is used in the preparation of bread and cake. It reproduces rapidly and produces CO2 during respiration. It is also used for the commercial production of alcohol and wine.
Thus, the correct answer is (ii) alcohol.
(b) Antibiotic is a medicine that kills or stops the growth of disease-causing microorganisms. Streptomycin is the type of antibiotic that is manufactured by specific microorganism.
Thus, the correct answer is (ii) Streptomycin.
(c) Malaria is caused by a protozoan called Plasmodium. The female Anopheles mosquito carries the parasite of malaria.
Thus, the correct answer is (i) female Anopheles mosquito.
(d) Disease causing microbes are carried by some animals and insects, they are called carriers. Houseflies and mosquitoes are carriers of some diseases.
Thus, the correct answer is (ii) housefly.
(e) Yeast (fungi) is a microorganism that is used in the preparation of bread and cake. It reproduces rapidly and produces CO2 during respiration. When yeast is added to the dough after a few hours the dough rises because the yeast cell reproduces and releases carbon CO2 gas which fills the dough and increases its volume.
Thus, the correct answer is (iii) growth of yeast cells.
(f) The process of the conversion of sugar into alcohol by yeast is called fermentation.
Thus, the correct answer is (iii) fermentation.

What our students and parents say about us!
Saiyam is using EduSaksham online courses from past one year. He is able to complete his tutorials, worksheets, and assignments on his own. Once he is done with worksheets, he can check his answers and if he has done any mistakes, then he can check the correct answers and explanations. They have been given so well that he is able to understand them himself and rarely he asks us for any clarification. He enjoys using the platform and has learned and improved a lot in Mathematics. I would recommend EduSaksham to all parents who want their kids to learn in a structured way and also enjoy the learning process.
Neeraj (Saiyam's Father)
I would like to thank Edusaksham on behalf of my son Aditya who attended " Math Olympiad crash course for 5 weeks". As per Aditya, this course helped him to understand new topics like Roman numerals and decimal places which were not taught in his school till date and had a better understanding of other topics. I personally thank EduSaksham for all the help and support.
Geeta Bansal (Aditya's Mother)
We had a good experience with EduSaksham. Because sheets are available online, Vedant enjoyed doing more and more sheets without any reminders. I could leave him on his own as he was very much motivated to cover the topics. Practice is very important in maths but it becomes difficult for us to prepare sheets, I am glad we found EduSaksham where in a lot of in a lot of sheets are available for practice and the quality of questions are also good. As it's a venture from IITians we could think of giving it a try and I am glad we tried
Shikha Chowdhary (Vedant's Mother)
I have grown up in a family where my father used to give me practice maths paper every day which I need to finish before I go to play. I think that strong foundation of solving new questions every day helped me to clear my IITJEE exam. But as working women, I always had time challenge to create practice Math papers for my daughter. Thanks to EduSaksham, their questions are so logical and conceptual that I don't feel the guilt of not creating practice questions by myself :). There are plenty of worksheet along with the tutorials for each chapter. It has made parents life easier :) And the best part is my daughter loves doing it. Thank you EduSaksham.
